Grade Point Average

Computing the GPA

The cumulative grade point average determines the student's scholastic standing. The
cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total quality points earned
by the total number of credit hours for which the student has received a final grade
of "A", "B", "C", "D", "F", or "WF".

Courses Taken at Other Institutions

Only courses taken at Southern Polytechnic State University, or courses completed
under the cross-registration program, are computed in the cumulative grade point average.
Credits earned at other institutions, credit by examination, credits for which quality
points are not assigned, institutional credit courses, and courses otherwise excluded
by institutional policy are not considered when calculating the cumulative grade point
average for graduation purposes.
